This is the first book to offer a comprehensive account, focusing on key texts, of how Hollywood has given a second and enduring life to such classics of the American theater as Long Day's Journey into Night, A Streetcar Named Desire and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Each chapter is written by a leading scholar and focuses on Broadway's most admired and popular productions. The book is ideally suited for classroom use and offers an otherwise unavailable introduction to a subject which is of great interest to students and scholars alike. 606 $aAmerican drama$vFilm adaptations 606 $aFilm adaptations$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMotion pictures and literature$zUnited States 615 0$aAmerican drama 615 0$aFilm adaptations$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMotion pictures and literature 676 $a791.430973 702 $aBray$b William Robert$f1951- 702 $aPalmer$b R.
